Inhale (why so tragic)
You might not be long for this world.
Never seen so tragic a tale.
Let’s get our breath , take a moment. Exhale.


I spied a child of two roar. I held
a wonder at four who never feared but soared.
I tailed you at your insistence
at your first dance, swung by
Daddy’s able arms, the abandoned
to watch you prance
about that gymnasium floor.

But elementary dreams faded, broke.
In my arms it was seldom spoke
whether you knew the words or
could reveal a heart not meant to mend
for hands feebly making self-amends.

I wanted to leave you gleaming
In shuttered world now streaming
Before I hit that golden horizon
I wonder...could I have danced with you more?

written about my fifteen year old she/he kid who's left us all wondering how this is all going to play out after anti-depressants and adderol.
